Rouyier Ministry Gaining strength.

LONDON, July l9.-The Rouvier Minis
try has surprised its friends. When II
was formed il is probable not man in
France. including the Ministers themsely y.s
and President Grevy, dreamed that the
Cabinet would hold together month, but
il has grown strong and is gaining In the
confidence Of the people daily. One Of its
chief causes Of strength In its fearlesQeps.
In the beginning, when IL had everything
to gain and nothing to lose, Its strength
was in its weakness. II entertained no
hope Of surviving the hospitality thAt
confronted IL and was firm only in its pur-
pose Of asserting itself while u lived. That
policy Of self-assertion was the founds-
tion of ts influence over Hrst one aud
then another of the political factions
opposing il, and really the basis
OF liz success, hrving tri.
umphed over its minor enemies IL boldly
attacked and removed General Boulsngcr,
and now purposes tho complete subjuga-
ton Of his adhercnts. This will not provo
an easy matter 10 accomplish. but NJ. Rou-
vier and his colleagues are filled with con-
iidence and possessed Of an abundance of
determination. The precautionary meas-
ures adopted on the occasion Of the review
at Dongchamps, when the troops went
through their evolutions with loaded
weapons, have not been relaxed, but on
the contrary have been strengthened and
extended and repitition Of the Boulanger
demonstrations will probably he the signal
for a general attack upon the offsnder Of
such character a. tO leave no doubt Of ths

WATTERSON TALKS.
His Views on Politics In General-Cleve
land Sure to be Renominated.


New YORK, July 19.-The Herald prints
two column interview with Henry Wat,
terson on politics in general. Wattersou
says the Democrats are bound to renomin
ate Cleveland, whether they like him OIL
not, as there is none to contest the field
with him. He was asked if he liked Cleve'
land and replied well, as the old lady
at the mourners bench observed, when
asked whether she loved the Lord, 4 may
say hain't got nothin' agin him." He
is also quoted as saying: "At one time
thought the Republicans would enter q
dark horse in the race; recent indications,
however, point TO the denomination OF
Blaine. In that event We shall have the
old fight over again, with some material
variations"
What will those variations be?'
LESS personal scandal and calumny,
and more old-fashioned party bitterness.
The Mulligan letter box is an exploded
magazine, and the Presidents marriage
knocked Maria Halpin as high as kite.
Real issues are gathering with greater pos
itiveness and clearness, the tariff for one
thing, and Blaine handles the protection
ist side of the controversy with greater
ability and plausibility than all the Others
put together. The Solid South for another
thing, and a. to this the Republicans have
framed an indictment which, though
specious, will serve them for a policy
through one more campaign anyhow. Two
such questions stoutly maintained, cannot
fail TO produce great deal of feeling"
"Where do yOu think the advantage
will lie?"
"On the whole, with the Democrats, |
think. There is not, in my judgment, an
other Republican President wrapped in
the folds OF the bloody shirt"
The name of Foraker was then mention
ed by the reporter, and the Kentucky ed
itOr said:
"Oh, Foraker, fiddlesticks! He sort
of Cheap John Jefferson Davis, with all
Davis unguarded garrulity and rash i'm
petuosity, but without any of Ms. Davis
accomplishments and sincerity"

Tho Root and Shine De.iers

CHICAGO, July 19.-Two hundred dele
gates were present this morning when the
annual convention of the National Associ-
alton of Boot and Shoe Retailers was call
ed to order. All the principal cities of the
country were represented. The dealers
were cordially welcomed in behalf of the
local association and it was announced the
sum of s., 900 was subscribed for their en-
tertainment and that a programme, includ-
ing visits to the parks, theatres and ban
quet, had been arranged. Among the sub
jects to he considered is the effect upon the
retail trade OF the extensive sales of boots
and shoes by dry goods houses throughout
the country. The Chicago delegates will
strongly urge that a boycott be placed on
the wholesalers who sell to the dry goods
houses. The question is likely 10 he a
thorn in the side of the convention and
will probably lead to an animated discus

The Coke strike probably Ended.

PITTsBURa, PA, July l9.-Twenty-
three Hungarians who had been sent from
New York to take the place Of striking
coke workers, called upon the Austrian
Consul Schamberg in this city to-day and
asked to be sent back home. They claim
ed that a labor agent had deceived them
by representing there was no strike.
A Connellsville special says the
Miners Amalgamated Association and
X. of L. miners both held a delegation
convention ut Scottdale to-day and passed
resolutions to resume work on condition
that the coke operators will meet
their committees to arrange
scale of wages. The general
opinion is, however, that the strike IL over
and the people throughout the region are
rejoicing in consequence. The strike has
lasted three months, and it is estimated
has cost the workmen 81, 500, COO in wages.
Work will probably be resumed on Thurs
day and the Pinkerton men withdrawn.

ANOTHER PROHIB. OUTRAGE.
A Mob Destroysthe Property of an Indiana
SaloQnkeeper

A Mob Destroys the Property of an Indiana
SalOonkeeper.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 19 There
was an exciting time last night at Wilkin-
son, in Hancock county, growing out of
the mobbing of a saloon run by VIM. Will
son, which was established in that village
about three weeks ago.
The saloon was in charge of John Robert
Wilson, cousin of the proprietor, and
when the mob, numbering nearly one hun
dred persons, began battering the front
windows and doors, using boulders and n
piece of timber, he fired one shot from his
revolver, hoping to intimidate the assault
ing party. The ruse failed to work.
After the mob entered, the pool table was
broken with sledge hammer and the
counter and bar fixtures were similarly
served.
IL is said for Wilson that had he known
the sentiment of the village he would not
have undertaken the business. Parties
from Wilkinson report that on Saturday
night several persons were elected from
the saloon, going away yowing vengeance,
and that they are inclined to think the at
tack was instigated by this class, and not
by those opposed TO the saloon from con-
scientious standpoint.

ECCLESIASTICAL LITIGATION.
Provincial of the Hermits of the Order oi
st. Augustine Deposed.


st. Augustine Deposed.
NEW YORK, July ia Philadelphia
special to the Herald says: One of the
most remarkable cases of ecclesiastical lit
igation in the history of religious order
OF the Roman Catholic Church in the
United States has just been decided in this
archdiocese. Although the canonical pro-
cesses have covered nearly eleven months
OF time and been conducted by each party
to the suit with much zeal and increasing
bitterness both in this country and in the
courts ofthe Holy See, yet all information
concerning the proceedings was carefully
restricted to those within the monastic
walls. During the past few days, how
ever, the secret so long and so successfully
guarded has at length transpired. Briefly
stated the case is this: The Provincial of
the Hermits of the Order of st, Augustine
in the United States has been formally de-
posed from his high Office on grave and
scandalOus charges, and former Provincial,
defeated by a bare minority vote through
alleged crooked means at the last quad
rennial election, has been appointed his
successor. As consequence, all the
appoinSses of the deposed Superior, will
shortly, it is stated, be removed from Office
and every member Of the order in the
United States must forthwith acknowledge
in due form the authority of the new
Provincial and solemnly promise obedience
and reverence. Should any of the Hermit
fathers refuse to comply with the demands
of the Commissary General, who issues
the DEGREES, they will incur suspension,
ipsO fdctO, and also disfranchisement in
the chapter. Absolution from these pen
slties Especially reserved to the general
of the order and to his successors. The
deposed Provincial is the Rev. John P.
Gilmore, of Waterford, n. Y. 1t was
charged that, in violation of the rules of
the order, at the last election he did
vote for himself, and as he WAS elected by
majority of one, that his election was
the result of his own vote. 1t was also
charged he secured votes Tor himself by
freely promising good appointments to
those who would favor him, The very
Rev. Christopher A. McEveri has been ap-
pointed Provincial of the order.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The examina,
tion of the books and accounts of Treasury
Department disbursing officers is progress.
ing steadily and satisfactorily.
The accounts of the discussing officers OF
the Second and Sixth Auditors Office have
been examined and found correct, but it
will require considerable time to examine
and prepare complete statement of the
accounts Of the disbursing officer at the
Treasury proper. This is due to the fact
that he keeps eight separate accounts with
various branches of the Department, scat
tered all over the country from the Allan

When all of the examinations have been
completed the Board of InspectOrs-fve in
number-will submit an official report OF
the methods employed by the various dis

with such recommendations or suggestions
as may be deemed necessary.
